The Rules are slightly more complex than your standard game of beer pong. The game is played with nine cups on each side, split into 3 small pyramids, one beer for each pyramid. there are three people to a side and each one of them has a ball. When the game starts everyone starts to shoot at the opponents cups. In essence it is a complete free for all. the table area is considered a neutral area, and anyone from either side can compete for balls on, under, or to the left and right of the table. for example if someone leaves a ball in the water cup, then that ball is fair game for the other team. If one of your cups is hit, you can't throw or retreive balls until you finish it. When all of your cups are hit you're out, and can no longer attempt to hit cups or retrieve balls. the first side to lose all of their players loses.
